The following excerpt is from The People v. Leon, No. B216979, No. BA348448 (Cal. App. 2010):
4. The People do not assert that appellant forfeited his right to challenge the lack of notice in this regard by failing to object below. We agree with appellant that the forfeiture doctrine does not apply in these circumstances. (People v. Viray, supra, 134 Cal.App.4th at p. 1215 ["We do not believe that an appellate forfeiture can properly be predicated on the failure of a trial attorney to challenge an order concerning his own fees"].)
